MORE ABOUT THE DENOSA BURSARY PROGRAMME – EXPENSES COVERED | SELECTION
The bursary award will only cover a small portion of tertiary expenses, therefore students are required to have funding for the shortfall.
Bursary recipients will be required to reapply for funding each year, and funding will be granted based on academic performance.
Applicants will receive feedback on whether their application was successful, from April 2023.
Bursary recipients must submit progress reports to the secretary, by no later than 14 February each year, until the end of the course of study.
